Share tomcat/webapps

I need share /var/lib/tomcat/webapps with Samba 4.1.1 in order to make easy the deploy process.

If I use directly the target path in samba configuration 

[webapps]
        path = /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/
        browseable = yes

obtain this errore

[2016/08/10 11:06:13.779626,  0] ../source3/smbd/service.c:792(make_connection_snum)
  canonicalize_connect_path failed for service webapps, path /usr/share/tomcat/webapps

If I try browse the /var/lib folder

[webapps]
        path = /var/lib/
        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes

I can't see the tomcat folder. Change folder permissions doesn't resolve the problem. My distribution is Red Hat 7.0.

It seems that Samba hide some folder ma the logic is not clear.

Any idea?

Thankyou

Thanks a lot for the answer. I solve the problem disabling SELinux.

By the output I'm guessing that your /var/lib/tomcat/webapps folder is in fact some kind of link to /usr/share/tomcat/webapps

You should either correct the path, or add some more configuration options to allow samba to browse symlinks

[global]
unix extensions = no

[webapps]
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
